Hand-Me-Downs

I wrote this last July and just found it in my drafts. Wow, i thought time flew then....

Steve's mom, Mona, always says "They say..." this and "they say" that. She'll say "You know Stevie, they say real butter is better for you than that fake stuff." Steve makes fun of her and always says "Who's 'they'?"

Well, Mona, I'm with you!

They say time flies when you're having fun. We sure are having fun, because my baby is already going to be 4 months old on Tuesday! I can't believe it. Every day he's doing something new and he is such a happy baby.

Since he's been born, every time he grows out of a piece of clothing, we put it in a large gift bag. Well, after almost 4 months, the bag was full. Tonight I went thru all the clothes, refolded them, and put them in a box. Our first box of outgrown clothes. Our first box of hand-me-downs.

I remember buying every single onesie and outfit. I remember where we got them and I can almost tell you what day he wore each one. If it was a gift, I remember who bought it. I'm sure those memories will fade away as time goes by, but tonight, I remember.

They say to enjoy every moment, because it goes by fast. So instead of living in the past, I went back downstairs to spend time with my little boy.

I'm saving every article in hopes that some day we will be adding to our family. Although...I wouldn't mind if we had to go out and buy all new stuff....in pinks and purples!

Hello Again

I'm back!
We got our family pictures back tonight so I wanted to share some....notice the sidebar!

It's already Christmas time and I can't believe it. For Thanksgiving we had my family over and had quite a houseful! Steve was sick the entire weekend with food poisoning from lunch meat, so that was miserable. But on a good note I got the Christmas shopping done for the kids!

This weekend we plan to put up our tree and decorate the house. This big house will take quite a few decorations to make it look festive, but we are going to do the best with what we have and hit the sales once Christmas is over and stock up on decorations for next year!

I have lots of funny stories on a daily basis to share,...so hopefully I'm turning over a new leaf and will take the time to update more often. This is so fun to look back on and read about what we were up to, and I know I'll regret not writing some of this stuff down!
